This premium Begonia Odorata Collection will provide your garden with avalanches of bright blooms and a delightful fragrance. An abundance of flowers cascade gently down the sides of hanging baskets and patio pots. Begonias prefer half-sun and a rich moist soil with good drainage and the tubers can be stored over winter and re-used year after year. We recommend growing indoors first, and only planting outside once all frost has disappeared. The collection includes 3 each of Angelique, Pink delight, Red Glory and Sunny Dream. Flowers June to October. Height 35cm. Top size exhibition 5-6cm tubers supplied.

Begonia tubers may be started into growth from February onwards. The easiest way is to put them into shallow boxes containing a mixture of loam, leaf mould and sand. Meanwhile, prepare the potting soil. Good top soil mixed with one-sixth part of manure should form the basis. To this prepared soil add leaf mould and it is often recommended that you add bonemeal to the compost. As soon as the shoots appear, you can pot them up in 15cm pots and place them in larger pots.

Very useful for pots/container. They should be started in shallow boxes in light soil; the saucer like tubers should be planted very shallow with the hollow side up. As soon as any danger of frost is passed then they can be transferred to their position in the garden at least 30cm apart. Begonias are great lovers of moisture and during dry weather they should be watered in the early morning or the evening.
